Is there a diet that helps Sjogren's Syndrome?

Most doctors and specialist would say there is no specific diet for Sjogren's Syndrome and just to eat a healthy diet. Some may say to avoid your own known allergens. (Mine are dairy and wheat) This is due to the connection of SS to the immune sysytem.

Here at Sjogren's blog I will be highlighting some specific diets. This does not mean I have tried them or endorse them, I am just talking about them.

Dr. West has a Protocol for Sjogren's Syndrome which includes eliminating all milk, wheat, and gluten products for 30 days and helping you identify if these are triggers to your Sjogren's or not. You see every one is different. But you knew that, right?

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF SJOGREN"S?

The hallmark is dry eyes and dry mouth but because it is an autoimmune condition the body can attack many other areas besides the sweat glands. You may have fatigue and aching joints or muscles. The list goes on...
